My newest crew of shadows are called the Runaways, and they are teenagers. Most of their friends and rivals are also teens, and the stakes started off quite a bit lower. There has been no killing, and most of their scores have either been petty theft or sabotage. It’s been an interesting change of pace from the cult that murders anyone who looks at them sideways.
Things are set to change soon, now that the runaways have made enemies of the Grinders by setting fire to their fleet of canal boats. The Grinders will certainly try to employ deadly force, we’ll see if the Runaways respond in kind. In addition one of the teenage girls asked for a devils bargain one a roll at a party, and I slipped in that a certain Roethe Kinclaith saw and took an interest in her. She’s never seen the Bloodletters and so doesn’t know what kind of psychopath he is, but I suspect the group may find out soon.
